Länsi-Uusimaa Rescue Department

Fire stations

The Western Uusimaa region has 12 fire stations on constant stand-by. These are supported by dozens of contract fire brigades.

The Western Uusimaa region has 12 permanent fire stations with more than 90 employees on constant stand-by, ready to respond to fires and accidents.

In addition, the Rescue Department has concluded agreements regarding rescue operations with 48 contract fire brigades. These include volunteer fire brigades, industrial fire brigades, military fire brigades and maritime rescue associations.

Five of the fire stations are located in Espoo. The other stations are located in Hanko, Karjaa (Raseborg), Karkkila, Kirkkonummi, Lohja, Nummela (Vihti) and Tammisaari (Raseborg).
Ingå, Kauniainen and Siuntio do not have a fire station with a permanent unit of the Rescue Department on stand-by. However, there are contract fire brigades (VPK) in these areas.

The Emergency Response Centre always dispatches the most appropriate rescue unit to the site of an accident or incident with the aim of providing help as fast as possible. The unit arriving at the site may have been dispatched from a permanent fire station and/or a contract fire brigade.
